We’re just finishing up the embedded media integration. After that we have to give the data model a final look over, then it should be ready for testing on live sites. I would estimate about 10 more days.

@foxly, thanks for the update, but the nightly build is not for the non-programmer types like me and I need it for a live site that is a photography community. But I’ll wait patiently as I know you guys are working hard. Just keep us posted and if I was a programmer/coder, I’d be helping you. Thanks, rg.

This has been the longest 10 days of my life… (well there was that one visit to the in-laws…)

I hate to be “that guy,” but I’ve looked at the tracker, the development plan, the todo list, etc. etc. etc. Great information. Super-thorough. But, it doesn’t really give me any idea when we can expect this to drop?

More than 1 month? More than 3 months? More than a year?

I won’t hold you to it if your estimate proves to be wrong – but surely we have some idea of when this might happen?

The next nightly build will have front-end screens. ETA about 2 weeks. We estimate a very rough alpha in about 2 months. Beta in about 4 months. Full installer, importer, etc in 8 to 12 months.

To put the scope of BP-Media into perspective, it has more code in it than WordPress and BuddyPress combined. BP-Media has to have this level of sophistication because of the inherent complexity of handling media items.

“We estimate a very rough alpha in about 2 months.”
You said the exact same thing a _year_ ago. The “inherent complexity of handling media items” is BS. Full open source video editors and operating systems are being finished from the ground up in the time-frame which wasn’t enough for you to produce an alpha version of a buddypress plugin. How much longer do you think you can maintain the illusion of making progress? I’m out.
